Introduction

The guide covers a wide range of accessibility issues and concerns within airports which currently affect disabled travelers and also users with restricted mobility.

Main Content

Unfamiliar environments, such as busy airports, can be a daunting experience for anyone who is restricted by a disability. This can make simple tasks, such as stowing luggage and boarding the aircraft extremely problematic. The guide has been produced by airport parking company Parkat and includes common worries and frequently asked questions:

Matthew Lobas comments:

"We have created this guide to help relieve some of the stress and worry for disabled people using airports. We regularly get emails about wheelchair access and other related questions therefore it made sense to collate all this information and to produce an easily accessible document which contains everything. The aim is to help everyone regardless of their needs to travel comfortably."

The free guide is available from the Parkat website at parkat.co.uk/disabled-travel-guide.pdf
